:)Garp,remember when my relatives came down for a few days and a feed or two?Theyre not too keen on coriander,can smell it at 100 paces,nor is the other half.Your suggestion was just use the powder and seeds instead of the stalks and leaves.
That placated everyone ok,meals were enjoyed,and since too.The problem is that I can notice the difference in the cooking,the coriander garnish helps,but not enough!
The bases aren't the same without "the weed",so am looking for an alternative,any suggestions!?.
Cheers Geoff

Hi guys,was disappointed to see that Waitrose and Tesco have had a go at this and totally marmalised it .To those ends am giving this a good go.Will post recipe and photos(nearly cracked it,Naga!)

Hi all,was exploring the River Test with possibility of good, reasonably priced fly fishing for trout.Probably too dear for me.We stopped at a pub,right on the River and the meal I chose was chicken Katsu curry,very tasty
  The basis is chicken strips rolled in peppered flour and covered in Japanese Panko breadcrumbs,not Bir but nevertheless a cracker.Got the recipe from the chef:30 mins prep,up to 1hour cooking,dependent on heat required.Will certainly give this one a go.

Cheers. Geoff

Welcome old hippy,
You'll find plenty of members willing to help and impart the"knowledge",I'm sure with 30 years we can learn from you too!
   Enjoy your curry journey.
    Cheers. Geoffbrick.

Wots this?
      Onions at ten paces!
      Seriously,great Madras.
  Cheers Geoffbrick

 :)Bob,great dish as usual,good photo,don't ask have had problems.Get regular blog mail from Maunika Gawardian,with recipes,not tried yet .If you've got a spare few days,she has cookery classes in Mumbai this month,where she'll sign your book!
Cheers  Geoff

Thanks for the link GI,very reasonable price.I'll know better now,and back up onto a ext drive straightaway.Will keep persevering,just annoyed about the curry photos.
Cheers Geoffbrick

HI Mick,

Think you're right,stick to Windows 7,very tempted,but I'll keep trying.Still have chunks of photos and music missing.Your comments 're ITunes are interesting,,cos whilst uploading my CD s I used Apple/iTunes for album info and covers,suppose I didn't buy from them so that's it.

Annoying part is photos,having done curries with visiting relatives,took photos and onto laptop.Full SD card deleted for further use.Perhaps further searches may turn them up,hopefully.

It makes you wonder who watches the site,have had emails from site offering to find missing files,for a price!

Cheers Geoff

Phil,Went through search computer,my folders,albums,pictures.large chunks missing,still.Back again to source folders/albums.Feel I'm getting somewhere,but pictures and music I want are hidden in the depths.Will researching,Windows 10 I presume,is going in the right direction!More pressing at the moment,pakora,quick base,dopiaza.

Thanks Geoff

 :)Phil,Naga,thanks,I was a bricklayer not a rocket scientist,so you'll have to bear with me.
On further investigation some earlier photos(2010,2011)have appeared,but no more..The iTunes situation is stranger,the album's I've paid for are there,but the400 album CD s that I manually uploaded to my Itunes library have disappeared totally.!!
I use a Tablet for daily use,as now,but keep personal,photos and music on laptop,I'll keep trying,and thanks,guys.
Geoff
